Budgeting

If your money seems to disappear, try setting yourself a firm but achievable budget and start taking control of your money.

There are many ways to makeyour money work harder:

identify your medium to long term personal goals and prioritise them

take a hard look at your bills to see how you have been spending your money and work out where you can cut down

identify debts that have the highest interest charge and pay these off as a priority

consider having part of your salary regularly deducted from your savings account and transferred to an investment account

create a realistic but firm budget to help determine your saving capacity

reward yourself when you reach budget milestones.
